When I say the power of the body, I am talking specifically about the power to dream. The subconscious makes you believe you are somewhere else for a short time. It feels real. This is the power that is used to make a new life. There's thing alive inside of you, and if you think it's just the bacteria and sperm, you are vastly mistaken.
I am not expecting you to understand, based on your previous responses. Yours and the others' responses are difficult in their lack.

-and yet the dreaming never do leave their bodies..those dreams contained entirely within them. I mean..sure, we can invent fantasy worlds, and particularly when we find ourselves relatively unencumbered by our waking reality.
That said, if the ability to dream is what creates a heaven..that ability ends when the organ doing the dreaming ceases to function..so what is being overcome?

Yes, we don't understand. I like facts, not woo.

My basis is that the beginning of everything has no VALID explanation. I also use the concept of infinity: that space is neverending and therefore HAS space for your heaven.
Do you see me yet? Do you have a valid explanation for the beginning of everything?

So what, you don't know things?
How do you go from not knowing something, to proclaiming knowledge of some other thing? I don't know where you were born. Obviously, this proves that a sentient tulip is quietly engineering all of history to it's advantage.
Or does it?

I had this discussion when I was considering veganism.
They were saying that a plant's reaction are purely chemical. More evolved creatures have a central nervous system, a brain center. And, I do not know about you, but I bave a very active subconscious, where dreams are made based on memories and desires.
I think not having a definitive beginning to everything is very mysterious and has spiritual implications.
It's a big void of information. You can't just brush it aside either, because we know things.

There's nothing to say but to ask the question again. Why would you not knowing something lead to knowledge of something else? How does that work?
